Quintin’s principal saw his potential as a leader

Thank you all for supporting the New Leaders Giving Tuesday Campaign. Your donations support Quintin, the principal of an elementary school in Charlotte, North Carolina.

Quintin knows all students are deserving of academic and social opportunities, yet he believes we have allowed students in urban schools to fail even though their schools often have the same resources and support that others receive.

Before joining New Leaders, Quintin taught AP English and 10th grade writing and was a department chair at a local high school. He has also taught debate and was a member of the school improvement team, which drove efforts to deepen relationships with parents in his school community. He moved AP English students from a 22 percent pass rate to 60 percent by the end of the year.

Quintin’s principal saw his potential and believed he could be a great leader, which is why he decided to apply to the Aspiring Principals Program. He is excited to work with students and teachers to establish a culture and strong sense of community during his Residency Year.

Thank you for your support of Quintin and New Leaders.
